Regarding fever, no, it generally does not affect the menstrual cycle.
It might cause slightly irregular cycles, but it does not stop them.

i had fever on the 31st of dec 2015 and on 1st of XXXXXXX . but the fever didnt comeback after that in the subsequent weeks until now. i had cough so the cough gradually reduced. due to the presence of wbcs in my urine report the doc has suspected urinary tract infection but i have no symptoms of urinary tract infection( no itcing sensation, no burning sensation while urinating and no frequent urines, no foul smell in the vagina).
also i have been told by many a doctors that my lung infection does cause fever. last time i had a lung infection was in april 2015 . Hence when i got the fever this time again along with cough i continued my previously prescribed medicine as i had exams and i did get relief. The doctor during april 2015 had adviced me to take BENZ capsule and PIRITON COUGH SUPPRESSENT , therefore i repeated these medicine during the dec 31st 2015 time.


And regarding the menstrual cycle this time around i have got the fever while i am menstruating hence my bleeding has reduced considerably. the cycle isnt normal as in the bleeding that i have during the second day of cycles has reduced .

Brief Answer:
Explained

Detailed Answer:
See, during fever or any kind of stress, the body would undergo some normal changes.
So the period flow might be slightly reduced.
Dont worry about it.
Once in a while, the flow may vary, it is quite normal.
And yes, your reports are all normal.
Urine has pus cells in it, so I think a urine culture should be done, even if you have no symptoms.
otherwise, please do not worry.
